Cards Realm API

Getting started

A read-only JSON API over the same data that powers the site: cards, decks, tournaments and player results.

No API key. Every endpoint is public and needs no authentication, no token and no sign-up.

Every request is a GET. Every parameter travels in the query string.

Base URL

https://cardsrealm.com/en-tt/api/

The language segment is part of the path and decides the language of card names and other translated text. Any locale the site serves works.

Choosing the game. Two ways, and they do the same thing: call the game's own subdomain, or pass the game_id parameter. Without either, you get the game of the domain you called.

Example request

curl "https://cardsrealm.com/en-us/api/getRecentDecks?game_id=1&limit=2"

Prices are integers in cents. A price of 77 with a currency_prefix of $ means 0.77. Divide by 100 before showing it.

Fair use. There is no hard rate limit enforced today, so please be reasonable: cache what you can, and prefer one paged request over many small ones. Abuse is what turns an open API into a closed one.

cardinfo

Everything the site knows about one card, found by name: text, mana cost, rarity, printings and current prices.
